The next Triskele Heritage online talk is Reinterpreting Listed Buildings. It looks at why buildings were listed, what conditions were like for listing investigators, why many listings were short & inaccurate, plus how new research is pushing back dating.

A graphic advertising a online lecture in support of the work of registered charity The Folklore Library and Archive. The image shows a closeup of a man wearing a pair of highly reflective VR goggles. In the reflection, we can see open laptops on tables, and a dark haired woman sitting at a table, watching. The wording reads: 'Online talk: Virtual Reality and Westcountry Heritage, Sunday 22nd February, 8pm, via Zoom. Speaker: Professor Robert Stone. Tockets £5 plus booking fee from bit.ly/flaevents'. The Folklore Library's round green logo is in the bottom right corner, and 'FLA Online' is in the bottom left corner. This promises to be a fascinating talk from a leading voice in the field of VR. All proceeds from the talk will go towards funding the charity's work.
Get your tickets now for the next in our #online lectures series! This will be a fascinating exploration of modern tech meeting the wilds of #Dartmoor, and the amazing things Prof Bob Stone and his team are doing with #VR.
